Abstract
Viral papillomas that developed on the toe of a dog, were removed and recurred four times in two years. Despite the papillomas being 'persistent', they remained small and confined to the toe, and did not spread or progress to severe disease. Not all persistent papillomas will progress, even when these are treated using more conservative therapies.
